How to Watch Celtic vs Besiktas Live Stream in the UK
TNT Sports 3 will show Celtic against Besiktas live in the UK on Thursday 5 November 2026. The Europa League fixture will also stream on HBO Max for viewers with an eligible TNT Sports subscription.
Kick-off is at 8pm GMT at Celtic Park, with TNT Sports scheduling its coverage from 7pm. The programme gives supporters an hour of build-up before Martin O’Neill’s side take on their Turkish opponents under the lights in Glasgow.
Some online bookmakers may add live streaming for eligible active customers closer to kick-off, so check your provider before the match begins. This option is strictly 18+. Geo-location restrictions and live-streaming terms apply.
Celtic’s return to European action follows their 2-1 defeat against Celta Vigo on 22 October. Besiktas, meanwhile, drew 2-2 with Crystal Palace in their previous Europa League outing. Thursday’s fixture is the fourth league-phase match for both clubs.
TV Info: What Channel Is Celtic vs Besiktas On?
TNT Sports 3 is the UK channel for Celtic’s Europa League match. It is available through eligible TNT Sports packages with television providers including Sky, Virgin Media, BT and EE.
Thursday’s 8pm European schedule also features Sunderland against Dinamo Zagreb on TNT Sports 1. Celtic supporters should therefore select TNT Sports 3 rather than the broadcaster’s main channel.
HBO Max carries the same live football coverage online. Viewers need a qualifying plan that includes TNT Sports; an entertainment-only subscription does not automatically include the match.
Celtic vs Besiktas Streaming Apps and Device Guide
Open HBO Max on a phone or tablet, or sign in through its web player on a computer. Look for Thursday’s Europa League fixtures and select Celtic against Besiktas.
Already paying for TNT Sports through Sky, Virgin Media, BT or EE? Check the streaming arrangements included with your existing package before arranging another subscription. Some TV providers allow customers to watch subscribed channels through their own apps.
For a compatible smart TV, open HBO Max directly and select the match. Celtic’s game is part of a busy evening of European football, so choosing the correct fixture matters if you’re joining close to kick-off.
Can You Cast Celtic vs Besiktas to a TV?
If your app supports AirPlay or Chromecast, start the Celtic stream on your phone and select your television from the casting control. Both devices should be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
A compatible smart-TV app offers another option, while TNT Sports subscribers with a television package can simply tune into channel 3 of the broadcaster’s sports line-up.
Watching Celtic vs Besiktas While Travelling
If you’re abroad, check which broadcaster carries the match where you are. UK streaming arrangements can differ overseas, even when you already have a sports subscription at home.
Supporters following the game from Türkiye should use the local kick-off time of 11pm TRT, three hours ahead of Glasgow.
Live Audio, Highlights and Match Replay
CelticPlayer, the club’s own media service, is another place for supporters to follow match commentary and club coverage. Its availability for live video depends on location, so UK viewers wanting the match pictures should use TNT Sports 3 or HBO Max.
TNT Sports also carries Europa League highlights, while Celtic’s club channels publish match reaction and video content. Short highlights are not the same as a recording of the complete 90 minutes.
If you intend to watch the whole game after full-time, check the replay or recording options offered by your TV service. A specific full-match replay release time has not been established.
